    It would be an instant buy for me, especially since it wouldn’t be as locked down and work better with Linux. I’ll deal with the software issues later, gimmie now!

      Question is - is Qualcomm going to do the same bullshit as their mobile ARM processors with the drivers?

      Where you need to wait for their proprietary Linux driver to upgrade your kernel?

        Hopefully the open source Qualcomm drivers will support this chip. The SDM845 chip is pretty well supported on mainline kernel, using SDM845 with 6.5 kernel and postmarketOS to type this comment. The Freedreno driver is probably the best ARM GPU driver in Mesa.
